Rawsamples.ch is actually not up-to-date, as it was hijacked by a SQL-Injection and the database which belongs to the Joomla-CMS was corrupted. I'm very sorry about this, especially as I haven't had an actual backup of the Database-Content. As long as you see this remark the repair of rawsamples.ch is ongoing and the content is not current (it is between Dec. 2015-Jan.2016). Stay tuned, I'm working on the content.

Thanks for your patience.

Welcome at RAW-Samples

The Goal of this Website is to provide RAW-Files of nearly all available Digitalcameras mainly to software-developers. It's not the goal to share every different exposure-setting of a camera-brand, but to give developers the possibility to check their software with different camera-brands and modells.

How can you help to extend this archive?If you own a Digitalcamera or if you have access to one which is not listed here and if the camera can record in RAW Format (DNG is actually not a proprietary file-format with plain sensor information, aka RAW!), I'm glad to get a RAW-File of it which I can then publish here on my website.

Make a photo of something with structure and colorfull, there is no photographic art required. Then send this file including camera-brand and model

by e-mail to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.(e-mail will be "human-read", you may write in english or german)

or upload it trough ftp to:

ip=ftp://94.16.150.212
username=upload password=raw

A free FTP-Program can be found here: FileZilla(if possible, try first the "active"-mode, as passive is actually not working due to firewall-rules)

Attention: Please send also an e-mail with used filename, and your name. I really need this to know, that you are the owner of the file! The file must be free of any copyright and I can not be responsible for any legal rights on it!

I will then provide this file here to everybody who is looking for one for free.
